She was nothing more than the girl that no one realized was there, the girl who blended in to crowds, the girl who was practically invisible to everyone. Her days were always the same, even as a college student. She woke up and got ready for the day with a cup of English breakfast tea with two sugars and a bit of cream. With her tea, which always had to have the tea bag in it for no more than fifteen minutes with the tag always over the right side when the tea cup was facing her, she had one bagel with cream cheese spread. Ever day she always wore the same thing; a gray skirt with a black top, gray over shirt, skin tone stockings, and flats. Her hair was always in the same hair style, a tight ponytail with her bangs neatly gathered to the left side of her face. She never wore much make up; nothing more than pink lip gloss, eyeliner, and mascara. She was the plainest of plain, she fit in too well to the walls that surrounded her; there was nothing special about her to make her stand out.

Her daily classes devoted her life to art; art which no one ever saw. She kept quiet and to herself, often sitting in the back right corner of the classroom by the large windows that decorated that side of the window. She would always stare dreamily out the window as lectures went on; never called on to talk or demonstrate anything. She quickly made her way in between classes, never looking up from the ground.

She never knew that her ability to blend in had other uses, uses she would have never thought about.

They came for her in the middle of the winter, the black car contrasting harshly with the white winter wonderland outside her house. It stood there for a while while she looked at it, and for the longest time no one exited the car. Panic slowly hit her and she slowly closed her white curtains before rushing to her door and locking it. That would keep them out, that was for sure. She didn't know what they wanted or who they were, but they scared her. Without even seeing the people they had a sort of intimidation that seeped from them. They found a way in anyways, she didn't know how nor did she really want to know. Her alarm never sounded, and there was no sound throughout the entire house.

They took her to the black car without a single word or sound; everything was frighteningly silent. She felt almost as if she screamed, nothing would come out. The people in the car said nothing to her on the silent ride, no one looked at her. Each of the people wore black suits with black shades, each neatly trimmed and pressed as if they were plastic soldiers. They arrived to a building deep in to the forest, and forced the female out and to the small wood cabin. When finally inside, her attention was brought to the beautiful red haired female staring at her with a wide smirk. She pursed her perfect lips before speaking.

"Hello, Danah." The female stood, crossing her arms across her chest, shifting her weight on to one hip. "Do you know why we brought you here?"

Danah looked around nervously, hugging herself. She felt out of place in a place full of all these perfect people. Strong, standing tall, unmovable mountains. "No... I have no clue... Listen I'm just an art student-"

"Not anymore," The red haired woman interrupted, her smirk widening even further, "You now work for me, Danah Young."

Danah was terrified, she had no clue what was happening. She wasn't sure she even wanted to find out..
